Birds of Namibia

Introduction: White-fronted
bee-eaters (Merops bullockoidus) are named after William Bullock

in London and Sheffield. This species can be observed in habitats that are
associated with sandy or lateral riverbanks and watercourses, sometimes in dry
watercourses in woodlands, bushy pastures and wooded grasslands. Mixed woodlands
with broad-leaved trees are also favoured, such as mopane trees.

Distribution:Rundu extending
east through the Caprivi to Victoria Falls, Chobe River and National Park
extending south to the Okavango Delta.
